Updates to the Meijer Coupon Policy!

On April 17, 2012, Meijer made some changes to their coupon policy. Here’s a summary of them:

You may NOT stack a paper manufacturer coupon with a Meijer M-Perks coupon.

You may NOT divide your order into separate transactions to avoid the 2-coupon doubling rule.

The coupon must be validated by the register. This could be an issue – if the coupon beeps because they don’t have it in their system, you could be denied the use of it. We’ll have to keep tabs on this to see if it becomes a major issue.

Meijer now ACCEPTS COMPETITOR COUPONS!! This is a GREAT change!

On the whole, these changes are reasonable and I particularly like that they accept competitor coupons. Here is the Meijer coupon policy as it appears on their website:

• Separate checklanes will not be opened or designated for customers with large coupon orders

• Manufacturer coupons and Catalina manufacturer coupons require the Customer to pay sales tax on the full retail amount

• Meijer, Catalina Meijer, and competitor coupons require the Customer to pay sales tax only on the discounted price

• Meijer will accept coupons from major competitors in each store’s trading area, for Grocery and or for Health and Beauty Care items

• Meijer will accept coupons from major competitors in each store’s trading area for General Merchandise items only if the competitor’s price point is included. The item must be the identical item on the coupon for the match to occur.

Comments

I have to be honest, I hate Meijer. I boycotted them a few years ago and I”m much happier! They never have what I’m looking for when I go, so I just quit going. I do think it’s good that they’re taking competitor coupons. I’ve done that at walmart many times.

To each her own! I probably shop at Meijer once or twice a month. They have some items that I use on a regular basis cheaper than Kroger. I really like their 10 for 10 get the 11th free sales. They frequently include produce – some of it organic! – in that promotion. They do have a nice produce section, in my opinion. However, you can usually find me at Kroger!
